4. Listen for two beeps from the Pod during the filling process. Be sure to
completely empty the fill syringe, even after hearing the two beeps.
Note:
The Pod must contain a minimum of 85 units of insulin in order to
function. The Pod beeps twice after it has been filled with 85 units of insulin.
If you have filled the Pod with more than 85 units and still do not hear the two
beeps, please call Customer Care.
Warnings:
NEVER use a Pod if you feel resistance when you depress the plunger.
This condition can result in interrupted insulin delivery.
NEVER inject air into the fill port. Doing so may result in unintended or
interrupted insulin delivery.
5. Remove the needle from the insulin fill port. The port is self-sealing; insulin
will not leak after the needle is removed.
6. Place the protective cap back on the needle and remove the needle from the
fill syringe.
7. Place the PDM next to the Pod so they are
touching. The Pod can be in its plastic tray
during this process.
8. Press

. A screen appears telling you that
the Pod is priming.
9. The Omnipod® System performs a series of safety
checks and automatically primes the Pod. Listen for
the beeps that indicate that the Pod is successfully
activated.
Note:
The communication distance between the Pod
and PDM is reduced during activation. Once activated,
the Pod can receive commands only from the PDM that
activated it.
Note:
After filling the Pod with insulin, apply the
Pod immediately. The Pod beeps every 5 minutes as a
reminder. If you do not apply the Pod within 60 minutes, you must deactivate and
dispose of it.
If you see a communication error message when you attempt to activate your Pod,
see "Failure when activating or sending a command to a Pod" on page 103.
